Anyone know what happened to these?

I've seen and heard very little about these but never seen them in action. As far as I'm aware they're autonomous pods that take you around.

They're all linked to MK Smart City - it's going to get quite big very soon, pop into their experience centre in the shopping centre to find out more. You can hop on/off their autonomous bus from Midsummer Place to the train station too.

Haven't they been banging on about these trials for like a decade now?

My friend is one of the engineers working on these and they are presently doing on trial runs and marketing.

Probably grant money ran out and cant afford the electricity now

Used to see them go by regularly when I worked in Unity Place. That was like a year ago though lol, don’t know if they’re still as active

They do chug around Unity Place and the surrounding area still.

They still run sometimes in trial around the station and town centre with someone inside testing and programming
